Our schools are supported by a non-profit partner to provide holistic services to the school, including out-of-school time, our social work project, and Head Start. How do we do this? We do it by ensuring our students have access to complete support both in and out of the classroom through a talented team of teachers, leaders, social workers, and partners. We believe that schools and learning should be joyful! You can find more about our core values and vision here.
